La Dernière Jour

We took our time getting ready again and headed back into the city. It was between 4 and 5 when we got there. We went to see the Moulin Rouge first, while it was still day time. It was really cool! And the area that it is in was full of cool things. For example: Starbucks!!! I got a caramel macciato and was in heaven. We explored some more, went in to a few souvenir stores, and then walked in the direction of Sacre Coeur, that area has SO many souvenir stores and I still needed to get one last thing. We ran into a kebab place on the way and decided to get one last kebab from France, I’m kind of upset that I didn’t try one of those until our last night in Chambéry, they’re so good! We ate until we were more than full again, this time for only 5 Euros each. We found a grocery store on the way and bought some snacks for the flight home. I found what I needed to in a souvenir store and then we headed over to the Eiffel Tower! Last time we were here we only got to walk to the second level and we wanted to go all the way to the top. To our disappointment the line was hours long (and we only had 2.5 hours max) so we had to pass on that, but its ok. We went to the second level last time and the view from there is better than the top, you can see more. We found a bathroom and then set out to find a crêpe. We did and it was DELICIOUS! We ate them while sitting on a bench in a park by the Eiffel Tower. It was nice to relax and people watch. A great way to close out our time in Europe.
When we got back to the hotel we used one of their computers in the lobby with free internet to check in for our flight. Minor Problem: We’re flying from Paris to Madrid, Madrid to Boston, and finally Boston to NYC (stupid I know, but it’s what they gave us). But our flight from Boston to NYC no longer exists and they haven’t given us a new one yet. So we couldn’t print our boarding passes. And who knows how long we will be in Boston. I’m not too worried though because whatever ends up happening it wasn’t our fault and the airline will have to take care of us. We will see…
